1. can't see content when opening file, covered with red or black blocks or lines

   Issue started with upgrade to InDesign 16.2.1 that when I open file, content appears blank or covered with red or black blocks or lines. I have to repeatedly resize the window in order to work on the page. I also noticed issues when editing text. It only allows me to edit text that is one or two lines above where the cursor appears—very frustrating!

2. locked layers are invisible

   I have an issue with locked layers: they are invisible in the layer-panel. I can only see them in the layout-view. I cannot edit, delete or unlock them. I can only make them invisible by disabling the "eye".
   This happend to a file that was packed about 2 years ago. Unfortunately, even the IDML-File can't be edited. What's wrong?

3. InDesign v.17.1: Crashes while pasting.

   InDesign v.17.1: Crashes while pasting. Elements disappearing. Working on an InDesign 2020 file, 2nd edition of a book. It's a 496-page book, full of tables and images. For some unknown reason, a lot of elements have just disappeared from a few pages and when I try to paste anything into the file, InDesign just shuts down. Please help.

   PS: After a couple of hours of searching, I found this text frame containing the text that has disappeared. It has a chapter name that had gone missing. This has happened only in one section of the book. This particular style 'Chapter Name' has been used 64 times in the book, and in this section, the colour has been changed by applying character style.

   When I expand the frame the chapter name is visible but immediately after that, InDesign crashes.

   The file I am working on is lengthy and very complicated, so I am hoping that I don't have to re-do the entire book.

   Can someone please help me resolve this issue?

6. Random blocks of color, screen skipping

   InDesign v16.2.1 - Started getting large blocks of color in my InDesign docs - never in the same file, appears randomly but always when scrolling. And this morning, a weird "skipping" thing happened - see attached. I've updated my iOS, un- and reinstalled InDesign to no avail.

7. Effects / blending mode

   InDesign 16.4 x Windows 64: Cannot scroll the list of blending modes with arrow key(s) and preview the results in a selected box. I've always been able to do this in the past (InDesign CS 2, 4, 6). New laptop, new Adobe subscription. I can 'scroll,' but no preview. Window closes each time, so at least 30 clicks to re-open and select through the list.

   Need More Info  ·  AdminRavi Kiran (Admin, Adobe InDesign) responded

   Hi everyone,

   The behavior mentioned here has been there since InDesign CC (that came out more than 8 years ago in 2013).
   Behavior in InDesign CS6 (and earlier) was different.

   Please confirm if you were seeing different behavior in any of the CC versions. Illustrator also behaves the same way.

9. InDesign is removing caps from file names

   InDesign 17.1 x64 Often (most of the time, but not always) when I overwrite (File Save As) or Export to a PDF that already exists and overwrite the current file, the new file name becomes all small letters (removes my caps). It only happens with InDesign. I can overwrite PDFs from Word, Access, etc and it never happens. This is very frustrating. Just started happening with version 17.

10. cells selection

    Bug 1:

    See "Table 1" in the provided screenshot.
    Make a table with 3 columns and 3 rows.
    Merge the first 2 cells of the first row.
    Now you have 2 cells in the first row. (A and B).
    Set the contents of other cells to C, D, E, F, G, H.
    Now select cells B, D and E.
    If you click on the Edit menu, InDesign crash.
    If you choose File -> Export, InDesign crash.
    On the scripting side, calling document.selection throw an exception and it is not possible to get the current selection.

    Bug 2:
    See "Table 2" in the provided screenshot.
    Make a table with 2 columns and 4 rows.
    Split the second cells of the first row.
    Now you have 3 cells on the first row.
    Set the contents of the cells to numbers from 1 to 9.
    Now select cells 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (skip cell 3).
    Run this code:

    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var selectedCells = doc.selection[0].cells;

    var i, ilen, contents = [];

    for (i = 0, ilen = selectedCells.length; i < ilen; i++) {
    contents.push(selectedCells[i].contents);
    }

    alert(contents.join('-'));

    expected result: 1-2-4-5-6-7-8-9
    current result: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 (cell 3 is not part of the selection, cell 9 is missing).

    Applescript and VBscript don't have this problem, only ExtendScript.
    This happens with all versions of InDesign.

    Bug 1:

    See "Table 1" in the provided screenshot.
    Make a table with 3 columns and 3 rows.
    Merge the first 2 cells of the first row.
    Now you have 2 cells in the first row. (A and B).
    Set the contents of other cells to C, D, E, F, G, H.

11. dropbox links

    Indesign use to be smart enough to know that links are from dropbox and looks for the my dropbox folder and not the link path that goes all the way to the drive name.

    But lately every time I open a file from a team member, I have to relink ever file manually.

12. Quranic annotation signs not working in Indesign

    Hi. Standard Pakistani Quranic text is not rendered properly in Indesign because it is unable to handle a Unicode block correctly (see attachments)

    Version of Adobe InDesign:
    2021 16.3.2

    Steps to reproduce the issues:
    To recreate this problem, download the font 'PakType Naskh Basic' from link below:
    https://sourceforge.net/projects/paktype/files/latest/download

    For Quranic text sample, use text from link below:
    https://svn.code.sf.net/p/paktype/code/Fonts/Deployment/Sura-Fatiha.html

    I hope this bug is fixed as soon as possible because we Pakistanis need to compose standardized Quran in Indesign. Thank you.

13. PDF's Exporting at Large File Sizes

    I've been running into an issue with PDF's exporting at large file sizes. This became apparent to me after the 2022 update. Here is an example of how this occurs and disrupts my workflow.

    I recently sent a exported a PDF from an indd project that linked to 13 PSD's. The exported PDF file size came to relatively manageable 10 MBs.

    I later updated the same project, now including 20 linked PSD's. This PDF export came to 184 MBs!

    When I've run into this in the past, I've had to either convert the PSD's to JPG's, or run some kind of other optimization out of Acrobat. This is an OK workaround when in a crunch, but I prefer to keep the workflow of source images to PSD's, intact. The downside to running optimization out of acrobat is noticeable loss in image quality, especially in the red channel of JPG's. In the above example, running optimization out of Acrobat reduced the PDF from 184 MBs to 4 MBs, with some, but not too terrible, loss in image quality.

    It's highly likely that this jump in export size is due to the PSD's. My research has lead me to believe this has something to do with meta data carried over in the PSD's, but it still seems like an extreme shift in export size.

    Any thoughts on what the cause of this extreme file size could be? Can export to PDF image options be refined to mitigate this? Like enhanced image flattening, conversion, or meta data remove (if this is indeed the source of the issue). Are there any options that exist that I'm missing? Though, the variable here seems to be the PSD's themselves.

    I've included systems specs, and PDF export settings as attachments for reference, below.

    System Specs:
    Windows 10 Pro 20H2
    AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950x 16-Core 3.5 GHz
    128 GB RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

14. Error(#18, #22, #23, #33, #39, #40) while trying to publish your documents using Publish Online in InDesign

    Hi,
    I work on InDesign 16.1 on macOS Big Sur 11.2.1.
    Since April 2nd, error #18 PublishOnline has been occurring when I try to publish online any of my documents. I tried on several computers and it still failed at 98%. I also tried with a blank file and the problem was there too. My files work well when opened with another account.
    Please find attached a screenshot of the error as well as a test file. I tried every solution on the help center and it didn't work. Could the issue come from my account? What solutions can you suggest? It's my working tool and I really need a quick solution. Many thanks in advance for your help.

16. Color Settings change to Emulate InDesign 2.0

    Color Mode changes from whatever is set in InDesign when switching app from Adobe Photoshop to InDesign (latest versions) ... I am getting the same problem when switching from Photoshop to the latest Illustrator as well.

    Problem Occurs even when InDesign (and Illustrator) are both shut down. After launching Photoshop and then shutting Photoshop down, Color Settings in InDesign and Illustrator are both changed to "Emulate".

    PLEASE FIX IMMEDIATELY!!!! THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM and impacts my workflow horribly as I am back-and-forth between these applications regularly.

    I have checked Bridge as well... and default is set to North American Prepress 2.

17. InDesign Server removes locks from locked layers during opening the document

    Hi,

    We ran into to the following issue on InDesign Server: after opening, saving and closing a document that contains layers that are locked, these layers become unlocked.

    The issue is reproducible on InDesign Server 16.4.0, 16.4.1, 17.0.0.

    The issue is not reproducible with version 15.x and 16.0.0, so it must have been introduced in InDesign Server 16.2.1 or 16.4.0.

    Scenario (on IDS 16.4.1):

    1. InDesign: create a document ‘~/Desktop/local2021.indd’

    2. Create 3 layers

    3. Lock all layers

    4. Save and close the document

    5. Run the script below on InDesign Server 2021 (16.4.1),

    ---

    targetengine "session"

    function main()
    {
    try {
    var docFile = new File("~/Desktop/local2021.indd");
    var doc = app.open( docFile );
    doc = doc.save( docFile);
    doc.close(SaveOptions.YES)
    } catch (error) {
    alert( "message: name =[" + error.name + "]; message = [" + error.message + "];" );
    }
    }

    main();

    ---

    (6). Open the document again in InDesign

    → the layer locks are gone!

    The same scenario is reproducible on InDesign Server 17.0.0.

    We found that the removal of the locks from the layers happen during the opening of the document.
    Evidently, the locks on the layers should remain untouched when opening a document in InDesign Server.

    We reported this issue directly to Adobe. It's known as #ID-4228851.

    regards,

    Carlo

18. Switch off UI scaling feature in ID v17

    @Adobe programming team:

    Please add a switch that let the user decide to turn on or switch off the UI feature invented in ID v17. Please see attached screenshot (german version).

    Reason: Users with a Windows scaling factor above 100% can no longer display all panels because they overlap and are way to big. No lower scaling possible, only higher.
    ID misinterprets that the user has high-DPI monitors when using a scaling factor of e.g. 125%.
    Alternatively, the scaling range could be extended having additional lower "stops".

    It was no problem to display panels in the correct size in ID 16.4 before the new feature was added. Can't work with ID v17 since a bunch of weeks and had to rollback to 16.4.

    Please ask the programming team if such a switch can be added in an upcoming update. Myself and sure a lot of other Windows users don't need the feature or it's not working correctly like in my case.

    Thanks,
    Regards

19. space bar and tab bugs

    InDesign 17.1 is impossible to use with macOS 12.2.1 Monterey.
    Using the space bar puts the document in the dock. Using the tab freezes the document.

20. cells selection

    Bug 1:

    See "Table 1" in the provided screenshot.
    Make a table with 3 columns and 3 rows.
    Merge the first 2 cells of the first row.
    Now you have 2 cells in the first row. (A and B).
    Set the contents of other cells to C, D, E, F, G, H.
    Now select cells B, D and E.
    If you click on the Edit menu, InDesign crash.
    If you choose File -> Export, InDesign crash.
    On the scripting side, calling document.selection throw an exception and it is not possible to get the current selection.

    Bug 2:
    See "Table 2" in the provided screenshot.
    Make a table with 2 columns and 4 rows.
    Split the second cells of the first row.
    Now you have 3 cells on the first row.
    Set the contents of the cells to numbers from 1 to 9.
    Now select cells 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (skip cell 3).
    Run this code:

    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var selectedCells = doc.selection[0].cells;

    var i, ilen, contents = [];

    for (i = 0, ilen = selectedCells.length; i < ilen; i++) {
    contents.push(selectedCells[i].contents);
    }

    alert(contents.join('-'));

    expected result: 1-2-4-5-6-7-8-9
    current result: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 (cell 3 is not part of the selection, cell 9 is missing).

    Applescript and VBscript don't have this problem, only ExtendScript.
    This happens with all versions of InDesign.

    This bug was already reported over a year ago (https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/41451565-script-selection-on-merged-row-makes-indesign-cr)

    Please fix as soon as possible!!!!

    why is it not possible to upload .indd files? You are talking about InDesign bugs and it is not possible to provide a .indd file???? Why???

    Bug 1:
